Text That Blows Away Like Sand

Kyle,

My guess is that you are applying the noise in the same comp that you’re applying shatter.

Make sure the noise effect is PRECOMPED, or just do the following:

1. Make a new composition
2. Add a solid, apply the noise filter
3. NEST that composition into your shatter comp

The problem (or fact, if you will) is that Shatter looks at the base layer of your reference layer — it doesn’t care that you applied noise. BUT if you did the noise in a previous [upstream] composition, it doesn’t know anything about what’s going on in the previous comp, just the [noisy] result.

hopefully that helps
